Just checked the weather forecast as I've ridden the section Hippy is doing today, down the coast. I did it into a headwind and it was pretty brutal up on the high bridges. Today looks like a crosswind, turning into a tailwind, so they should have a fast run, when they are not dodging and turning through the dunes.
It's really beautiful on the bridges - the main thing that I remember is there being such a massive sky!
Headwind would probably favour Hippy in the race as it would make it relatively harder for others than for him - but I expect he will be happy not to have one as he tries to build a nice buffer before the hills inland.
He's about to hit the blue section. I hope he's got clarification from the org regarding whether he can use that during the daytime as it's probably going to be faster.
